Installing OPENSUSE 11.1 on a ThinkPad T61p

2009-02-22T22:26:45Z

Szaboka:

== Configuration ==
My T61p is a 6457-BQG, Intel Core2Duo 2,6GHz, 4GB RAM, 180 GB HDD, Nvidia Quadro FX 570M, 15.4" TFT (1900x1200), Intel AGN 4965 wifi, Bluetooth, Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio.

== Partitioning ==
Factory disk: two partitions: r&r and vista. I was first preparing a dual boot system, but gparted was not able to resize the vista partition. After many retries, I dropped the idea of dual boot and decided for suse-only system. I kept only the r&r and partitioned the rest with gparted as:

/dev/sda1 r&r 6GB
/dev/sda2 /boot 64MB
/dev/sda3 extended
/dev/sda5 / 40GB
/dev/sda6 swap 4GB
/dev/sda7 /home 130GB

Network install was almost without problems (the partition configuration had to be edited during the installation, since the installers was offering some foolish configuration).

== Setup - 1st try - KDE4 ==

First I have choosen KDE4 for desktop enviroment. Installed nvidia driver from source (needs kernel source package installed) instead of rpm. It seemed that these components
* suspend to RAM (add {{bootparm|S2RAM_OPTS|"--force"}} to {{path|/etc/pm/config.d/defaults}})
* composite effects in KDE4 (add to {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}} with {{cmdroot|nvidia-xconfig --composite}})
* wireless
are in conflict. The most stable configuration was running an older nvidia driver (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-177.82-pkg2.run). I had a couple of freezes, sometimes the keyboard was not functional, wireless did not always come up after s2ram.

== Setup - 2nd try - GNOME ==

I wanted to give a try to GNOME and reinstalled the whole system. In the meantime a new nvidia driver (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.29-pkg2.run) came out, I have choosen that one.
* suspend to RAM works (without editing {{path|/etc/pm/config.d/defaults}}).
* wireless does not always come back after s2ram. You can fix it by removing and loading a wireless kernel module ({{cmdroot|modprobe -r iwlagn; modprobe iwlagn}}), in case if it does not come up.
* composite effects in GNOME were OK. However in terminal the texts were not always displayed correctly; if a window was updated, only parts of it was refreshed, I had to bring the cursor above the elements to make them refresh. I have played with many xorg and compiz parameters (switched sync_to_vblank off; refresh rate set to 60). The problem has completely vanished after removing the --loose-binding in COMPIZ_OPTIONS in {{path|/usr/bin/compiz-manager}}. See [http://fedorasolved.org/Members/mock/fix_refresh_nvidia_compiz_f10].

== Worked out of the box ==
Wireless, sound (use kmix to get internal mic switched on), ethernet. Video: installed rpm-s from download.nvidia.com, fancy 3d animations of KDE4 work, FramesPerSecond(FPS) measured with glxgears is around 3000.

== Problems ==
There is a strange interplay between the nvidia driver and suspend2ram. Since s2ram was not working with nvidia-rpms,
I deinstalled them and installed the driver using the script NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.22-pkg2.run (needs kernel-source package installed). Accept to write new {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}} file at the end of install script. FPS is around 12000. Adding
{{bootparm|S2RAM_OPTS|"--force"}} to {{path|/etc/pm/config.d/defaults}} makes s2ram work, however no 3d animations in kde. Adding Composite flag to the {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}} file (by calling {{cmdroot|nvidia-xconfig --composite}}) makes 3d animations work, but s2ram fails. I tried out an older nvidia-driver (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-177.82-pkg2.run), too: s2ram ok, 3d animations work, but FPS is only 3000.
